“And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.”
1 Kings 11:9-10 KJV
God was furious with Solomon for abandoning the God of Israel, the God Who had twice appeared to him and had so clearly commanded him not to fool around with other gods. Solomon faithlessly disobeyed God’s orders. However much the LORD God had blessed Solomon, he still entered into deception by turning away from the Living LORD God to lifeless idols. When John the Baptist prophesied about Jesus the Christ, he said, “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Thank the LORD God for the new covenant, through which we have been blessed with the Almighty LORD God’s Presence in us, for those who have believed and received Christ. The Living LORD God chooses to dwell in us who have a passion for His Presence. May we never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit in us to serve the Living LORD God. Amen!
